Interpretation
How to assess this buyer market
Start with the size of reported imports, then compare the pace of change with supplier breadth. A concentrated market may be harder to enter but can reveal established supply relationships; a broad supplier base may offer more room for differentiated positioning.
Compare the route, not only the country
Supplier totals describe the market at country level. Route evidence can reveal which exporter-to-importer relationships account for the observed value and where supplier activity is changing.
